Got some growing happening.

03/12/2026

A lot of you know my personal journey this past year … I’ve used that year wisely and dove into the deep end of studying and using herbal remedies . I completed several herbal courses, and will continue my education to expand my knowledge. It’s been an amazing informative year and I’ve managed to help friends and family with some herbal remedies and revived positive feedback.
So im excited to say I’m hoping you would like to participate in my Pilot Program. Please see
My other post! I am hoping you all follow
Along, I will be posting some information on different plants and exciting things happening as Spring is here! Thank you all.

Peace and 🌱plants

🌿 Welcome to From the Roots Up 🌿

From the Roots Up is a small herbal project that grew out of a love for plants, homesteading, and learning about the traditional ways herbs have been used to support everyday wellness.

Living in rural Pennsylvania, I’ve been spending a lot of time learning about the plants growing around us — in gardens, fields, and along the woods. Over time I started building a small home apothecary with herbs, teas, tinctures, and salves made from plants I grow or responsibly harvest.

With a background in nursing, I’ve always been interested in health and wellness. Herbalism became a natural extension of that curiosity — learning how plants have been traditionally used for nourishment, comfort, and simple wellness support.

Herbalism is a lifelong learning path, and this page is where I share that journey.

Right now I’m beginning a small Roots Up Herbal Pilot Program, where I’ll be working with a few volunteers to explore gentle herbal wellness support for things like:

🌿 sleep support
🌿 stress and nervous system balance
🌿 digestion
🌿 seasonal immune support
🌿 general wellness

This program is free while I continue expanding my herbal education and experience.

Important note:
I am a student herbalist sharing traditional herbal wellness information. I do not diagnose or treat medical conditions, and this work is not a replacement for medical care.

Because of safety considerations, I cannot work with complex medical conditions or individuals taking multiple prescription medications.

If you’re curious about herbs or want to follow along as I learn more about the plants around us, you’re in the right place.

Edit: the process is pretty simple if you are interested we will chat about what you need help with and of course some of your medical history (meds,etc) and then we will customize what fits your body and lifestyle… even though it’s herbal it’s can still interact with certain medications. Safety is always top priority!

Finally nailed this muscle rub. Adds some heat and lasts a while. Ahhhh. If you got sore muscles from shoveling or just aches and pains. This will definitely help

So excited will be introducing new fall/winter soaps ! As usual made with goat milk and so soothing to your tired skin , but with wonderful new scents

And it’s finally here. Tallow based sunscreen. Are you tired of wiping chemicals on your skin and your family? This amazing sunscreen has only 5 ingredients… zinc oxide helps boost the SPF in it along with tallow,olive oil, coconut oil and beeswax, this not only feels amazing but protects you from the sun! Win win.
